So, it's been just two days after my last post. Not too bad eh? Keke.

Do you drive with just one hand on the steering wheel? I'm learning driving now and I used both hands to grip the steering. Don't know if it's the case of I-admire-that-because-I-don't-know-how-I-can-do-that-myself, but I like guys who drive with one hand.

Have been taking colleague's car to work and he drives like that. And though he's like one of those people (or maybe the only person) that brings out the worst in me, I just find his ability in manoeuvring the car with a hand attractive.

Duh. *head in hands*

 

I need a name for baptism. Can't decide on one. Have been bothered by it for over a month! And I need to submit my chosen name by this coming Wednesday!

Caroline or Magdalene. Which is better?

Maybe I'm thinking too much... but I think God is really guiding and helping me to have more faith. I feel that my prayers are answered and He is sending 'signals' to tell me that He welcomes me to the faith.

Why I said so is due to two recent incidents that happened.

Incident 1: I'm supposed to submit my baptism form indicating my godparent's details by next week and I couldn't find any eligible person whom can be one. I do not have a lot of Catholic friends and those who are are usually younger than me which would be quite weird if they become my godparent(s). So I was praying and trusting that God would set things right for me. And indeed, my boyfriend's aunt, who came to know that I will be baptized soon, asked if I have found a godparent already, and if not, she can be mine!

Incident 2 : As I'm not baptized yet, I do not usually go for Mass. However, I decided to go to today's sunset Mass and the Homily is about the baptism of Jesus Christ. And the first thing that came to my mind was that God is speaking to me! He is welcoming me with open arms, wanting me to be baptized!

Of course, I may be reading into things way too much. But I really feel that the Holy Spirit is really guiding and helping me to strengthen my relationship with God.
 

Spent the first day of the working week frantically rushing out my report. As at the point I emailed my group leader, it's 5000+ words long. It's the longest report I've ever written!! I just hope that my group leader won't ask me to add in more things. >.<

Spent four days this week learning a new programme. Finally I've something that I can add on to the 'Computer Skills' part on my resume other than Microsoft Office. :P

Ended the working week with a drink at the Lazy Elephant @ Clarke Quay. Just had a bottle of Stella cos tummy not feeling well. Came home early cos can't hear a single word exchanged between colleagues as the music was blasting. :(

Tmr's weekend! Woohoo~! But I know that before I know it, Monday's here again and there's more training! *bleah*

 

Reached office at 8, worked through lunch, chomped down my packet of rice within 10 minutes in front of my PC and worked till 6. A total of 10 hours of non-stop staring at the PC screens (I have two monitors at work) with a few minutes of toilet breaks in between. Downed three cups of thick coffee just to get through the day.

~Phew~

But had a nice dinner of roast lamb and veggies at a friend's place and a good laugh over a game called Scene It!. I guess that's pretty much of what's called 'work hard, play hard'.

First day of 2009 and I'm spending the afternoon doing my report. *Sigh*

But last night's countdown was really meaningful to me. I finally got to welcome the new year with someone who shares my future and dreams, and I thank God for that.

New year, new dreams, new challenges. Hope everyone will be blessed with the courage and fortitude to overcome all obstacles to achieve what they wanted.

~Happy New Year!~

Got the result of one of the three language papers I sat for recently. I passed. Not a good pass but I'm glad that I made it.
The next two results should be announced next year in Feb. Still such a long way to go. >.<

Did Christmas presents shopping last Friday. Spent like $160 for colleagues and friends. Another $200 for family members (and I still have a couple of gifts left to buy!). And on Saturday brought parents out to eat and shop. That's another $100. ;_;

Broke. Broke. Broke. Ah well. it's a once-a-year thingy so I guess it's okay.

Anyway, I'm going to be baptised next April and I've to submit the baptismal form soon. I need a baptised name, and I totally have no idea what I should call myself. I want something not too common but yet not too unique. Can anyone give me some suggestions??

では、さようなら

Woke up from a dream which I didn't want to wake up from. 

You know how dreams have a storyline? Dreaming is just like watching a movie or telly drama. The dream that I had was just so bittersweat, and I wanted to know how it ended even though I sort of knew how it would end. 

And I still can feel the regret, heartbreak and longing that I experienced in my dream.
